The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 219 Wait until I attain enlightenment, then I'll take you traveling, to see the starry sky, and to taste all the delicacies of the world.
"It seems that in the current human realm, only the Immortal Phoenix and Morality can successfully traverse the mortal world and become immortals. Others have no hope here."

The Immortal Phoenix's predecessor was the Undying Emperor. After rebirth, it transformed back into an Immortal Phoenix Egg. Chu Tianshu purified its bloodline, allowing it to make significant progress in all aspects. It should have no problem traversing the mortal world and becoming an immortal.

As for the Celestial Venerable of Morality, he was already close to completing his journey on the Immortal Path in the Mortal World, and with the addition of the essence blood of an Immortal King, the two should be roughly the same.

The others have virtually no hope, including the two Holy Emperors, Taiyin and Taiyang. Although they have returned against all odds, the road ahead for them is still long, and their chances are not particularly high. It is estimated that, like Emperor Fuxi, they will only live for about four generations before reaching their limit.

At that time, we can only try our luck in the strange world and see if we have a chance to become immortals in the mortal world.

"Perhaps apart from those three in later generations, only the Azure Emperor has a chance of becoming a mortal immortal."

It was no accident that Ruthless Wu Shi and Ye Fan were able to successfully traverse the mortal realm and become immortals. Ruthless Wu Shi's talent was unparalleled throughout history, and coupled with her unwavering determination, she was able to continuously transform and evolve in the mortal world, ultimately achieving immortality.

As the reincarnation of the Immortal King Wuzhong, Wushi possessed an innate sacred body and Dao embryo, lacking nothing in terms of talent and physique, and had no problems whatsoever.

As for Ye Fan, needless to say, his luck was unparalleled, and coupled with his belief that he did not believe in reincarnation but only in this life, he had no hesitation in his heart.

Besides, the Azure Emperor is the most likely to become a Mortal Immortal. His true form is the immortal divine medicine, the Chaos Azure Lotus, and his profound foundation is no less than that of the Chaos Body, the Innate Sacred Body, the Immortal Spirit, or the Immortal Golden Holy Spirit.

Unfortunately, a single misstep led him down the wrong path. He had his own ideas and hoped to create a celestial realm in the mortal world where longevity substances would spontaneously arise, but his strength was too weak.

Creating a complete ancient realm is a power possessed only by a Celestial King. Unless he can recover to his former peak, failure is inevitable.

Immediately, the Thai King looked at the ancient tea tree behind him, which was three zhang tall and had attained enlightenment. At this moment, there was also a hazy consciousness inside the ancient tea tree.

"Perhaps we should also add an ancient tea tree that has attained enlightenment."

Over the past two hundred thousand years, the Thai king has spent most of his time sitting cross-legged beside the ancient tea tree, which is a sacred root that has existed since ancient times. Even a stubborn rock could be transformed into sacred gold, so he naturally gained immense benefits.

In the future, I may be able to transform back into a living being like the Azure Emperor, and perhaps even have the chance to become a mortal immortal.

Apart from that, almost no other emperors in later generations could achieve immortality in the mortal world; at most, they could only live a few more lifetimes.

……

Ten thousand years later, the suppression of the Great Dao by the Undying Emperor completely dissipated, and a new struggle for the Emperor's Path began.

This generation also saw the emergence of numerous prodigies vying for the throne. The Undying Emperor only lived two lifetimes, not a third as previously speculated, meaning his tribulation mark wouldn't be too strong, and all prodigies still had a chance to attain enlightenment.

No one was willing to give up this opportunity and hand over the throne to someone else.

Shortly after the suppression of the Great Dao dissipated, in a certain hall of the Chu family on the ancient star Tianji, a heroic young man walked out of the hall.

"The battle for the throne has begun, and this time I will prove myself and become emperor!" The heroic young man's tone was filled with determination.

He looked up at the sky and could vaguely see many geniuses fighting in the sea of ​​stars. He wished he could join them immediately.

The heroic young man was born into a collateral branch of the Chu family. At first, he was not particularly interested in cultivation. However, when he saw the Great Emperor traveling outside the mountain gate and all living beings bowing down to him, his blood boiled and he wished he could take the place of the Great Emperor.

In the years that followed, he changed his previous lazy ways and began to cultivate diligently. Later, he defeated many powerful enemies in the competition within the clan and obtained the qualification to cultivate the Heavenly Emperor Scripture.

In just over a thousand years, he pushed his cultivation to the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor, achieving the Great Perfection of the Overlord Body.

Unfortunately, he was at the peak of his immortality at the time, so he sealed himself away to leave for future generations.

"Back then, the Undying Emperor was able to defeat all the geniuses and defy the heavens to prove his Dao. There's no reason why I, with my domineering body cultivated by the Heavenly Emperor Scripture, can't do the same."

Although the Overlord Body and the Golden Body belong to the same level of physique, the Chu family has the Heavenly Emperor Scripture to cultivate. The scripture is full of the Dao of physique and the Dao of killing, which is incomparable to ordinary scriptures.

A master of the Heavenly Emperor Scripture with a supreme physique is virtually unmatched among his peers, which is the greatest source of confidence for the valiant young man.

boom!
The next moment, the heroic youth no longer hesitated and took the initiative to kill his way towards the ultimate imperial pass, wanting to emulate the immortal emperor, defeat the geniuses of the mortal world, and defy the heavens to prove his Dao.

In just a few hundred years, the valiant young man indeed defeated all powerful enemies and dominated everything.

He even broke through the shackles and transformed into a perfect and domineering body.

All of this was naturally seen by the people of the human realm, who believed that the Hegemon Body's attainment of the Dao was almost a certainty.

"Since the Great Emperor of Mountains and Rivers, is the Chu family finally going to have someone attain the Dao again?" A leader of an extreme Dao force revealed an envious expression.

Throughout history, only a handful of families or clans have produced two Dao-proving individuals; besides the Tianji Chu family, the Beidou Feng family is another example.

But judging from this, the Chu family is very likely to produce a third Great Emperor, how could they not be extremely envious?

“I don’t think so. This Overlord Body is strong, but the scripture he cultivates is the Heavenly Emperor Scripture, and he is also bound by the bloodline of the Mountain and River Emperor. His chances of attaining the Dao are slim.” Someone retorted, believing that it was unlikely that the Overlord Body could attain the Dao.

"Indeed, from ancient times to the present, there has never been a case of a descendant being able to attain enlightenment by relying on the imperial scriptures of their ancestors. Moreover, there are the constraints of the Hegemon Body and the Imperial Way, so I'm afraid the hope of attaining enlightenment is slim." As predicted, although the valiant young man defeated all the talents in the world, he was still unable to take the final step and successfully attain enlightenment.

He even suffered severe Dao injuries from repeatedly forcibly breaking through the shackles of the ultimate Dao.

This situation was observed by nature and the world. Some people sighed, regretting that even an invincible body could not break through everything in the end.

Some were overjoyed, after all, there can only be one emperor in a generation, and the Hegemon Body's attempt to attain the Dao would be tantamount to completely cutting off their path forward. At this moment, the Hegemon Body's failure to break through to the ultimate Dao naturally made them ecstatic.

Not long after, the Chu family's overlord disappeared from the Ultimate Imperial Pass and withdrew from the competition for the Emperor's Path.

This delighted the contemporary prodigies, who resumed their battles, eager to determine a new victor and break through to the ultimate realm.

……

Tianji Ancient Star.

In the middle of a great river, a beautifully crafted boat is sailing on the lake. On the boat, a handsome couple is playing the zither and singing, but one can still faintly hear the loneliness in the music.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Just then, the man playing the zither coughed violently. The goddess beside him looked worried and quickly walked to the side of the heroic man.

"Chu Lang, you..."

Before the goddess could finish speaking, she saw a shocking smear of blood on the man's hand, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

"It's nothing, just an old ailment." The dashing young man shook his head, indicating to the goddess that she need not worry.

"Chu Lang, don't try to break through the shackles of the ultimate path anymore. The Dao injury in your body has already damaged your very foundation. If you continue to try, I'm afraid..." The goddess frowned, her eyes filled with deep sorrow.

The dashing young man sighed, looking at the ceaselessly flowing river before him with a melancholy expression.

"Recently, while recovering from my injury, I have come to realize the hardships of life. It is like this ever-flowing river, which, though it has the intention of returning to the sea, flows slowly and the journey is arduous."

"Alas, rivers eventually flow into the sea, but the ambitions of life are often difficult to realize, leaving one with lifelong regrets." The man sighed deeply, full of resentment.

"Chu Lang, nine times out of ten, things in this world don't go as planned. Even the legendary immortals may have regrets in their hearts. Why are you so fixated on this?" The goddess looked at the pale-faced, heroic man before her, a hint of heartache flashing in her eyes.

She didn't want the man in front of her to continue trying to break through the barrier, fearing he would die on the spot.

"No, I will not give up. It is said that there is a supreme secret technique in my clan that can take the body to the next level."

"My Overlord Body is already perfected. If I can take it a step further, I will surely break through the shackles and defy the heavens to prove my Dao!" The heroic man's eyes became more and more determined. He was unwilling to admit defeat. The previous setbacks did not discourage him. On the contrary, they made his belief even stronger.

He wanted to reverse his life and undergo a transformation; he wanted to become a powerful immortal; he wanted to defy the heavens and prove his Dao.

But at this moment, the valiant man did not notice the goddess beside him, who was now deeply saddened.

"Chu Lang..." The goddess hesitated, but ultimately did not speak.

The valiant man paused, but did not stop. He left behind only one sentence before turning away without looking back.

"Linglong, after I attain enlightenment, I will take you to travel around the world, see the starry sky, and taste all the delicacies of the world."

Time flies!

In the blink of an eye, five thousand years have passed since the suppression of the Great Dao by the Undying Emperor dissipated. Although the Chu Family's Overlord Body temporarily dominated during this period, it was ultimately just a flash in the pan.

This once-in-a-generation prodigy in the history of the Chu family ultimately failed to take the final step and become the Supreme Emperor.

In the years that followed, the once dormant prodigies became active again, fighting fiercely at the Ultimate Imperial Pass in an attempt to determine the true emperor.

Over thousands of years, although some people briefly achieved final victory, they ultimately could not withstand the lightning tribulation mark of the Undying Emperor and fell during the tribulation of attaining enlightenment.

boom!
Just when the world thought the struggle for the Great Dao would continue, countless calamity clouds suddenly gathered, and a heroic figure stood on the edge of the universe, overlooking the six directions and eight wastelands.

In an instant, the entire human realm was in an uproar. They recognized the figure as the invincible overlord who had once dominated the human world.

"Incredible! I never thought that this Chu family's Overlord Physique could actually break through the shackles and defy the heavens to prove the Dao."

People originally thought that the valiant man had either perished or sealed himself away, but unexpectedly, thousands of years later, this Chu family's overlord body was still able to defy the heavens and break through the barrier.

"No, it's not just about the Overlord Body. His aura has a majestic heavenly might that is far beyond what the Overlord Body can match."
